Only 22 weeks but feeling about 32 weeks already!!!!

This is my 2nd pregnancy and I'm nearly 22 weeks pregnant however I feel so much more pregnant and look so much more pregnant than I actually am.
I don't remember it being this way last time when pregnant with DD as it was my first pregnancy.

Does everyone feel this way 2nd, 3rd etc time around??? :lol:

I think to myself, far out, if I'm only 22 weeks, then how huge am I gonna feel and look when I'm term???? :o :o

Bub kicks so much and is so active and everyone has been able to feel bub move from the outside the last 2 weeks also.....I think with DD noone could feel bub kick until at least 24 weeks or so.....

i think i was the opposite lol huge first time and small the second time im guessing u dont know the sex or are keeping it secret but u might be having a boy

Maybe there is 2 ;)

:rofl: definitely not two in there!!

DD was 8pds 1, be interesting to see how big this baby is then? I'm hoping no more than 9pds :lol:

I hear ya Ren! I am 31 weeks now and I am as big as I was with Bella at 40 weeks! And bub feels so much bigger and moves so much more!
I think its eally due to the fact that our bodies know what they are doing this time around - I was big early on and I think it was because my tummy muscles said "Oh yeah I know what we are doing here" and just let it happen - Not like the stretching that our muscles go through for the first time.

i went through DD2's pregnancy fairly cruisy, im sure i had my moments but all in all i was fairly contnt. this pregnancy though i honestly would have been happy for him to come at 25 weeks (not really but u kow what i mean) its just draggin and each day i wake up still pregnant im dissapointed. i dont know if its just general impatience or what but i want him out NOW! lol

Yep me too. This bub truly summersaults! My midwife said the muscles are looser so it's easier to feel the uterus...that's why people can feel movement already. I remember when my mum was pg with her fourth we could see limbs etc because the uterus was that much closer to the surface.

Feeling much heavier too this pg, like the baby is sitting on my cervix!

Its taken me to have #7 to feel super huge and heavy early on, but yes, im the same right now. I wonder how huge im going to be at term lol.

There may be theory in the boy thing though, cos after 4 girls in a row im now having a boy and i am SURE im carrying him completely different to what im used to (other boy 9 yrs ago so have forgotten what its like to carry boys).

Shanti: I'm the same. I'm almost 25 weeks, but I swear I didn't look this pregnant until more like 35 weeks last time!

Yep pg with number 6 and I already look like I did at term with number 1 :(. I've gotten bigger quicker with each pg but weight wise for bubs they have gotten smaller, plus I've had bad stomach muscle separtion with the last two so that doesn't help with my size, lol.

I knew I couldn't be the only one! ;)

I am also glad to hear it doesn't necessarily mean bub will be bigger than the last one - phew! haha.....

Yep...apparently it is common for next pregnancies. I was like that too. My OB kept asking if i felt big...pretty much every time from about then...i began thinking !geez :o i must be big' for him to keep saying it- he'd only just seen me with my 1st pregnancy a little over a year ago at that point (though he did repeat alot of information or questions anyway...so maybe he was just forgetful )

And in regard to feeling like it....it doesn't help having a toddler to chase after too :rolleyes::)

Yep I felt like that too. Got bigger much much quicker and thought omg what will I be like at the end!! But it's slowed down now and I'm the same as with DD.

Definitely! I am already feeling so slow and cumbersome and huge, I am really scared about how I will cope with DS when I get to 30+ weeks.

yep at 22weeks i was measuring 28 weeks :o my OB said i have a lot of fluid with this pregnancy and he thinks thats what causing me to appear much bigger than i iam! at my 32 week appt my belly was measuring 37 weeks! He seemed unconcerned but im freaking out :o i have my 34 week appt tomorrow so im dreading having my belly measured, even though i know it's not a clear indicator of bubs size :hide:

Shanti - I am in the same boat. Second pregnancy, first bub weighed 8 pound (well, 3585 gms) and look HUGE already. In the morning I am quite small, but by afternoon I look 13 months pg :) People comment ALOT about how much I have popped. Oh well, good to know it doesn't necessarily mean a 14 pound baby either.
